Skinny Monkey watched with a dark expression as Yun Duo and Yun Da walked into the county government building without any hindrance. Fear rose in his heart. This time, if Leopard didn't protect him, he was afraid he would really be arrested.
With that thought in mind, he quickly gathered a pocketful of broken earthenware jar fragments and hurried off in the direction of the house of the leopard master he had mentioned.
Cao Limin was in a meeting, so Yun Duo and Yun Dazheng were first invited to the reception room next to the county magistrate's office.
Yun Duo was alright, but Yun Dazheng was restless, fearing that the county magistrate would refuse to "see" him. Yun Duo didn't know the name of that Leopard Master, but Yun Dazheng, who had lived in Qingping County for more than twenty years, knew more or less about him.
Fortunately, Cao Limin finished his meeting and came out in less than half an hour. He warmly and kindly went to the lounge himself, instead of having someone come and lead them to his office.
Yun Dazheng was almost overwhelmed with gratitude. He quickly stood up, bowed, and stammered, "County...County Chief, hello, I'm so sorry to bother you."
Facing Yun Dazheng, Cao Limin remained reserved, merely nodding as a gesture of respect. But upon seeing Yun Duo, he was as warm as before: "Little Yun Duo? It's been so long since you've visited your Uncle County Magistrate. Have you missed him?"
"Hello, Uncle County Magistrate. Yun Duo misses you, especially when she's thirsty." Yun Duo naturally knew that Yun Dazheng was kind to her, but that he didn't really like her that much. Otherwise, why would he be so cold to her grandfather? However, that didn't stop her from trying to please him.
"Why do you think of the county magistrate when you're thirsty?" Cao Limin asked Yun Duo with a smile.
"Because when I'm thirsty, I need to drink water. And when I drink water, I think of the watermelon juice that Uncle County Magistrate gave me. It was so delicious, even better than honey water!" Yun Duo said, her eyes wide with reminiscence. After speaking, she lowered her head, deliberately looking embarrassed.
Sure enough, Cao Limin laughed and said, "I knew Xiaoyunduo really missed Uncle County Magistrate, so she came to see him. So, she was thinking about the watermelon juice here."
As he spoke, Cao Limin prepared to have someone prepare watermelon juice.
However, before he could speak, Yun Duo feigned embarrassment and said, "No, I didn't! I wanted to invite Uncle County Magistrate to try some honey from the bees I raise myself, so I came to see you." With that, she ran to Yun Dazheng's side, took a square piece of honey from the earthenware jar in his basket, and presented it to Cao Limin like a treasure, saying, "Look, Uncle County Magistrate, isn't it much prettier than a honeycomb picked from a tree?"
Cao Limin was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the honeycomb that Yunduo had brought over, then looked at Yunduo and asked, "Such a perfectly square honeycomb... Little Yunduo, is this really honey produced by your own bees?"
Yun Duo opened her eyes wide and nodded vigorously, looking both ingratiating and unable to resist showing off: "Of course, Uncle County Magistrate, Yun Duo is so lucky! I found a huge bee, and after I brought it home, a huge swarm of bees followed me to my house, and then they just wouldn't leave! This is the honey they produced."
It's just good luck.
However, it wasn't because of a mere swarm of bees, but because... she caught the eye of that young master and won his favor.
